A state of the United States.

Located in what is commonly known as the Midwest, Nebraska is known for its farming (beef and corn), as well as its college football team, the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The largest city in Nebraska is Omaha, and the capital is Lincoln.

Arbor Day and the National Arbor Day Foundation come from Nebraska. The National Arbor Day Foundation (http://www.arborday.org) is located in Nebraska City.

Nebraska is the only state in the United States with a unicameral legislature, that is a legislature with only one house. Although this house is known simply as the "Legislature", its members still call themselves "Senators".
